Remebering Fellow-poet Sathara Malathi
Latha Ramakrishnan

A passionate reader and a very sensitive human being she was, one can find in her Poetry the marvelous blend of the two quotable quotes – ‘Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions’ and ‘Poetry is emotions recollected in tranquility’. 

Her poems reveal her passionate heart and its unanswered queries and unfulfilled dreams and they belong to one and all of us. She had experimented with various styles and tones in writing Poetry, using classical Tamil, folk-language etc. She took part in literary seminars and discussions with genuine interest and her Papers would always be balanced and analytical, avoiding overtones.

Three collections of poems – VARIKUTHIRAIGAL ( the zebras) , THANAL KODI POOKAL( fire-plant flowers), MARAMALLIGAIGAL ( a kind of trophical flowers) – one short-story collection – ANAMADHEYA KARAIGAL (anonymous shores) – one Anthology of essays on the renowned Tamil Classic Andaal Thirupaavai, analyzing the underlying theme of the verses with a rare sensibility and sensitivity, UYARPAAVAI - of Sathara Malathy have so far been published.

A FEW WORDS TO SHARE REGARDING THIS PLAY OF MINE…

_Latha Ramakrishnan

I happened to see the play MANIMEKALAI bywriter Veli Rangarajan whose plays have earned a place for themselves in contemporary Tamil Literature.

*Manimekalai is a legendary epic and its female protagonist whose ‘Atchayapaathra’(the classic bowl) which satiated the hunger of countless persons being ever full has come to symbolically represent many things in life.

In the final scene of the play the actress who played the character Manimekalai got down from the dais and walked amidst the audience acting as if she was offering some of them food from an imaginary bowl. And, when I received a handful  from her in a willing suspension of disbelief state of mind the seed for this  play must have got planted in the depth of my  heart.

 Originally written in English this play of mine was published in Muse India Internet Magazine and even won acclaim and a prize money of Rs.500 several years ago. Subsequently I translated this play into Tamil and it got published in a Tamil Literary Monthly Pudhupunal in its October 2009 issue.  At this juncture I convey my thanks to both these magazines for publishing this play of mine.

POET VAIDHEESWARAN'S OBSERVATION ON POETRY:


“Poet is no newspaper reporter having his own likes and dislikes. He must have a very open and very big heart that is associated with a grand truth of Life; that is able to see the big picture of life. Even while dealing with bits and pieces of experiences the poem should reveal a wholesome awareness about life.
